The Big Outback Rescue

When Coral the cockatoo spots a lost baby bilby — and a stream running dry — Kira the kangaroo knows there's only one thing to do: call in a train, a truck, and a plane!

Kira and her three friends — Banjo the wombat, Coral the cockatoo, and Sunny the little sugar glider — set off on a big-hearted rescue across the Australian outback, with a little help from some very useful vehicles.

Full of fun sounds to read aloud (Chug chug! Rumble rumble! Whoooosh!), gentle counting, and a warm goodnight ending, this is the perfect bedtime adventure for little ones aged 3 and up.

Simple words and short sentences — ideal for emerging readers

Repetition and sound words — brilliant for read-aloud

A gentle story about teamwork, kindness, and helping others

Celebrates Australian animals and the beautiful outback
